Hokkaido is a region of exceptional natural resources: pristine soft spring water, cold winters ideal for slow, controlled fermentation, and a growing tradition of cultivating sake-specific rice varieties uniquely suited to the local climate. Chitosetsuru Junmai Daiginjo Suisei is one of the first sakes ever made from Hokkaido's native 'Suisei' rice variety — a local grain with low starch content that allows for a clean, dry sake of excellent structure and remarkable elegance. The rice is milled to 45% of its original size — the hallmark of Junmai Daiginjo, the highest classification in sake — removing the outer layers to reveal the pure, aromatic core of the grain. Fermented with Kyokai #1801 yeast and soft Hokkaido spring water, it is crafted to pair with the abundant seafood of the region: best with simply prepared dishes where the ingredients shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is clean and aromatic: light, sweet steamed rice with delicate notes of Muscat and white flowers. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a creamy texture — refined and precise, with a crisp, structured, dry finish that speaks to the low starch content of the Suisei rice. The quintessential Junmai Daiginjo — clean, elegant, and built for the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This is the quintessential Junmai Daiginjo Sake. Junmai Daiginjo is made from highly polished rice making it clean, aromatic, and delicate.
